"Motel Hell" Remake

Another remake is in the works, as MGM has just announced that they are planning to update the 1980 film "Motel Hell". The most impressive thing about the production would be if they actually had it ready by December of this year, since that's when they are promising to release it.

The original horrorcomedy revolved around a bizarre farmer named Vincent, who would kidnap unsuspecting travelers, bury them in his backyard, and keep them alive by feeding them, only to use them later as a special ingredient in his famous fritters.

The original was sort of a spoof of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." MGM is hoping to release it in theaters on December 7th. No director has been announced yet.
